POLICE believe four cockerels, which were stolen from a hen house, in Addis Lane, Cutnall Green, could be used in a cock-fighting scam.

The Barbu D'Anvers breed cockerels are fawny-brown and cost about £10 each. They were taken on Saturday night.

Spa beat manager PC Alun Jones said: "Our main concern, and the owners, is that these particular cockerels can be quite vicious and are suitable for cock-fighting."
